1--WE have no steeple TO our church,"
A member once was heard TO say;

Especially on sabbath day.
"a steeple, sir" another said,
Who overheard the conversation,
"Will never sane ifv church
Nor earn its members their salvation.
'You may a costly splre upbuild,
Until IL equals mountain height;
But 1t will not more pleasing be

And blest are temples crowned By such,
For they fulfil Gods holy plan"

A URiteG States Deputy Marshal Kills
His Wife and Comlnits Suicide.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, May lS.-The re-
port comes from Garlic, Zapsta county,
to the effect that Frank Stokes, Deputy
United States Marshal, residing at that
place, killed his wife and himself yester-
day. He suspected Inconsistency upon his
wife's part, and she in turn charged him
with criminal intimacy with their own
daughter, girl of about nineteen years
of age. The terrible disagreement
caused separation, but they had made
up and were living together. Upon
Stokes return from ESan Antonio few
days ago, where he had been in attend
ance upon the Federal court, he said some
thing that aroused the old suspicion. He
awaited his time, however, to find an
opportunity TO serve mis- purpose.
Yesterday his wife and daughter and
himself went into the woods about two
miles from Garlic on kind of picnic
excursion. While there dispute arose
between Stokes and his wife, whereupon
he seized his Winchester and opened fire
upon his wife, killing her instantly. he
then put the Winchester to his head and
put al end to his own miserable life. The
girl ran to town and gave the alarm. The
jury of inquest found the bodies about
fifty yards apart, but the life blood had
ceased to flow. A verdict was rendered
in accordance with the facts as above
recited.

ANOTHER GARNET CRISIS.


PARIS Nav lS-The debate on the
budget estimates was resumed yesterday
in the Deputies. Premier Goblet said the
present financial situation was the result
of the accumulated errors of the past
government. He reproached the budget
committee with demanding reforms which
it knows are impracticable. The Premier
declared he found nothing that justified
the committees hostility towards the
governments financial or foreign poll
cies. The Chamber by vote of 275 to 259
rejected the proposals of the government
and proceeded to discuss the order
of the day. Premier Goblet announced
that the cabinet would resign and imme-
diately all the members of the cabinet
left the house. Afterward the resolution
proposed by the budget committee was
adopted by vote of SIP to 1872, affirming
the necessity of adopting new plans for
retrenching expenses. The house then
adjourned till Monday. President Grevy
last night accepted the resignation of the
cabinet. 1t is generally thought NJ. de
Freycinet will be summoned to form 3
new cabinet.

PARIS, May 1S.-President Grevy will

lative to the formation of new Cabinet
and as to the advisability of retaining

THE FRENCH CRISIS.
PARIS, May l8.-President Grevy sum-
moned NJ. Clemenceau, Ferry andIde Wise,
de Freycenet and Raynal to mis- residence
at the Palace ElYsee to-day and had an
interview with each of these gentlemen
in relation to the formation of q new
cabinet. The general belief is that NJ.
de Freycenet will be charged with the duty
of the construction of new ministry.
The Journal DIES Debats says NJ. Clemen-
ceau is opposed to the return to power of
NJ. de Freycenet. The Radical press call
upon NJ. Clemenceau and importune him
to oppose the retention in the government
of General Boulsnger. 1t is thought in
some quarters that in consequence of the
difference of opinion among political
leaders the crisis will be prolonged one.

How tho Electric Thrill Saves the Actress.
". 4 q.

new IOIh mali anu EA press.
81 see that some one has been trying to
head off the hue and cry against the de-
collete dresses" said a well known the
atrical manager, as he toasted his toes
on the steam radiator of the comfortable
Office, "by pointing to the loW-necked
dresses seen on the stage, and the gen.
eral healthfulness of the women who
wear them. Now, to people who
know nothing about stage life
that point would seem to be well
taken. The dresses worn on the stage
are usually as thin and sCsnty as that
worn by society bellies. The exposure
too, is always much greater on the stage
than at any ball or party, because the
stage is full of drafts and chiIIs, and is
not much better than big windy barn,
anyway. Yet we never hear of any
actress taking cold from wearing
her fimsy costume, however deli
cate and frail she may be. 1t
seems hard to see why her society
sister should be any more susceptible.
don't know how it is, but there is pecu-
liar excitement about going before an
audience that takes an actress safely
through exposure that would inevitably
kill her anywhere else. You see them
coming out of their warm dressing-rOOm
on a cold winter night dressed III their
thin, low cut and sleeveless dresses.
They staud about the wings waiting for
their cues, and the keen wind
blowing down their backs, and
they SILVER pitifully in the cold, IS if
their teeth were going to drag out. You
would wonder how the poor creatures
can get through their parts. But the in
slant they hear their cues there is kind
of electric thrill runs through them, and
they step out on to the stage and never
feel a particle of cold. The wind may
howl around them hard enough to blow
their wigs off, and it may be cold enough
to freeze the E-fat trombone solid, but
they don't know it."
